    Special Resurrections - Cases in Scripture, of the past, and of one to come before the Great Ones

    Special Resurrections - Cases in Scripture, of the past, and of one to come before the Great General Resurrections (Righteous/ Damnation) & Translations (taken alive without experiencing death). What does the Bible (KJB) teach on these things? Let's take a good look.

    Should the Bible translation be changed? (Poll)

    Should all names in the Bible be translated? For example, people say Jesus is the English name of the Son but this claim is false because it does not include the meaning it should have.

    What Makes a Bible Version a Paraphrase?

    I ask, because there are new versions coming out these days that define themselves as translations when they are in fact paraphrases in my opinion.

    Over the past six months or so, we have made a number of changes to the default Bible version/translation here at Christianity Board. We know that this is a touchy subject among many and we are not here to declare our version choice the best or necessarily better than others. In fact, each...

    A scientific argument for formal equivalence?

    I think this becomes an argument for at least reading the formal equivalence translations (IE: ESV, NASB, NKJV, KJV): Link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2261636/Reading-Shakespeare-Wordsworth-offer-better-therapy-self-help-books.html Obviously, this doesn't factor in the...

    Does the Bible Version or Translation Really Matter?

    Does the Bible version or translation that you use really matter? For KJVO'ers, I'm just honestly not that interested in your arguments here. I wanted to start by saying that so we'll have a mutal understanding that this will not evolve into a debate about the KJV vs everyone else. I have use...
